United States Patent | 5,638,648 |
Rotondo | June 17, 1997 |
A door panel for an electronics enclosure or cabinet is disclosed. This door panel includes a window opening, over which is placed a windowpane, anchored to the door panel by bonding material. The bonding material is extruded into a cavity formed by the rearwardly turned edges of the door panel window opening and the overlapping edges of the windowpane. This construction seals the door panel window opening from dust, moisture, or other airborne contaminants, provides an exacting tolerance for anchoring the window in place with very few parts, and enhanced aesthetics.
